Business Wire
United Microelectronics Corporation (NYSE: UMC; TWSE: 2303)
(“UMC”), a leading global semiconductor foundry, today announced
that its 40nm RFSOI technology platform is now ready for production
of millimeter-wave (mmWave) radio frequency (RF) front-end
products, enabling the proliferation of 5G wireless networks and
applications including smartphones, Fixed Wireless Access (FWA)
systems, and small cell base stations.
While the majority of today’s 5G networks operates in the
sub-8GHz bands, mmWave technology employs a new frequency spectrum
between 24GHz and 60GHz, making it possible to deliver blazing-fast
transfer speeds, extremely low latency, and more reliable
connectivity. UMC’s new platform, 40RFSOI, is optimized for
manufacturing RF switches, low noise amplifiers, and power
amplifiers capable of handling the wider bandwidth of mmWave
frequencies. Balancing the need for more RF components in mmWave
modules while keeping the size compact, 40RFSOI is an ideal
solution for customers designing integrated RF chips that combines
beamformers, core and passive devices, as well as front-end
components on a single IC.
“The full potential of 5G hinges on the mainstream rollout of
mmWave to deliver the speed and capacity required for virtual and
augmented reality, smart cities, industrial automation, and
applications in healthcare. With the introduction of our 40RFSOI
platform, UMC expands our RF portfolio to enable our customers to
deliver their advanced 5G devices to market and capture
opportunities in the growing mmWave market,” said Raj Verma,
Associate Vice President of Technology Development at UMC. “Several
customers are currently engaged with us to customize the 40RFSOI
process for their RF front-end products, and volume production is
expected to start in 2024.”
UMC offers the most comprehensive RF front-end module solutions
serving a broad range of applications including mobile, Wi-Fi,
automotive, IoT, and satellite communications. The Company’s family
of RFSOI solutions ranges from 8-inch to 12-inch wafer
manufacturing. Since 2014, UMC has had over 400 product tape-outs
and more than 35 billion RFSOI chips shipped for various
applications. Its 55nm RFSOI technology has been in production for
years serving the 5G sub-8GHz market.
